i know his record on israel. and the fact is, he said a couple of thing s he shouldn't have said, and he has admitted that, good for him. and he is a strong supporter of israel. and he is strongly against what iran is trying to do. and i think, given his history, and given the fact that he will be a strong supporter of making sure that the worst possible sanctions are placed on iran, nothing is off the table when it comes to iran, he's going to be very strong. and i think it's very, very sad to see republicans lining up against a republican colleague who they served with, who is a hero, a war hero, twice woundeded wound eed in vietnam. i mean, he really cares about the troops. he has answered every question. there is definitely a right-wing effort to derail his nomination. and we don't know of any democrats at this point who are voting no. we have 55 democrats. so all i could say to my republican friends is, i hope you're not thinking of filibustering this. because never in the history of america has there been a

israel used to say we'll never negotiate with terrorists until they did and she got freedom for one man in exchange for 1,027 prisoners. should the united states negotiate now? there are americans in algeria whose lives may hang on that decision. >> that's the first thing you learn as a new fbi agent. it puts a price on the head of every other person in the region. it's tough when you have family members there. i would be very, very reluctant to give them anything they want for that very reason. you just make every other westerner across the maghreb, northern africa, their price on their head just went up. and part of the problem here is the reason these folks have been successful, erin is the way they make money is through ransoms. they do kidnappings and ransoms. as a matter of fact, at one time they were the single largest contributor, al qaeda in the maghreb, through ransom payments. it became a cottage industry. i think that's a dangerous precedent because that whole region is becoming more destabilized. lots of weapons that left libya while the united states was not making a quick

what about the peace situation in israel? the truth of the matter is unless israel/palestine is fixed and solved, many of these neighboring countries are going to feel the reverberations. >> should that would be a priority? >> i think so so. and so do many people who cover that region. it will take political capital and political courage. without a vested u.s. presidential involvement that is really consistent and persistent, not much is going to change. and previous histories have shown when the u.s. president is really into it, things do change. but i think come back to afghanistan, the president wants to get out of that country and is, 2014 will be the out date. this is where al qaeda started. and people are consider concerned that the u.s. and other forces will leave without the afghan forces being stood up enough to be able to safeguard the country. >> which i would say is an almost certainty. >> i think afghans fear that. they've made sufficient gains that they're worried about losing them, particularly afghan women and

who really have the power, saying, look, maybe we can avoid a war, avoid a bombing campaign by us or israel if we can talk away from this weaponization of nuclear arms over there. how did you read it? what happened over there? >> i think he was talking to a lot of different audiences, and he was saying that i'm different than the previous administration. i'm not president bush. a lot of people around the world still remember the united states, even though there's been four years of a barack obama presidency, for the wars in iraq and the wars in afghanistan and military interventions and the drone policy, and he was trying to say we can work peacefully. we have to build on the peacemakers, and i think that is a message that will be received by people in iran, will be received by certain communities in iran, but there is a big divide in iran. there's the qods force which feels very empowered and very aggressive. if he's extending an olive branch, i think there will be some parties in iran that will be taking it and other parties that will just be seeing this as some sort of trick because this
